Las Vegas Poker Player Reunited With Lost $300,000

And in that brings us to our last word in business on this Christmas morning. It's cold, hard cash.

That is what a passenger left behind in a Las Vegas taxicab. The driver first thought the brown bag sitting on the backseat contained chocolate. Turns out it was filled with something a lot sweeter. Six thick bundles of $100 bills, in total, 300,000 bucks. The driver handed the bag in to his office - the responsible thing to do. The office tracked down the amazingly absent-minded passenger, not surprisingly a well-known poker player. There was no immediate word on whether this unnamed high-roller gave the cabbie an extra Christmas tip or not.
